Mila’s POV…

Sharing a room with Zaden on a stormy night was not in any of the scenarios I laid out perfectly in my head. In fact, the entire evening was not the exact turn of events I expected.

“You know among all the things I discovered about you today, the most shocking of them all was finding out you have a pet”.

“We found him when he was a pup in the shelter, his mother's previous owner was abusive, and animal control saved them both. He was so small when we adopted him “.

“During college days, pets weren't allowed in my dorm, that's why I left him here back home, where he would be comfortable, and eventually, when I started ZDN Corp, I couldn't bring him to stay with me because of how busy I got.” I could see the sadness in his eyes as he said it.

Seeing Zaden with his family, I had lots of mixed feelings. My father was always so distant, with only business talks, and we hardly engaged in personal discussions. I was at least close to my stepsister, but even she was now distant.

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 24

    Zaden’s POV...Mila’s presence at home was intoxicating and now I get to see her at work too. A sigh escaped my lips as I got ready for work. It was at least better than her being involved with that guy Richard. I was glad my nerves were at an end and I decided to look into him, else…I shivered at the thought of Mila and Richard together, it was the best option for Mila to work for me. She has a knack for running into trouble, besides I doubt any other man has the level of self-control I have when it comes to her, I can’t just leave her to work for some other person, not when she was carrying my child. I was her best bet. I went over to the kitchen for my morning coffee. Mila was having toast and coffee. She was all dressed up in work clothes. She and Alberta were deep in conversation that they hadn’t noticed my presence, I used the opportunity to allow my eyes to roam freely over Mila. She was dressed in a knee-length pencil skirt that had a slit in front that exposed a bit of h

    Mila’s POV…Zaden’s rejection last night stung more than I cared to admit. What did I expect when trying to kiss him? Of course, he wasn’t going to welcome it. I blamed myself for reading the meaning into his kiss the day before. I pushed every thought of Zaden from my mind for the rest of the day. My agent had scheduled my meeting with the landlord at one of the properties that caught my eye last night. I just hoped it was within my budget, the building was situated in a really busy place, and the location suited my description. I studied the building in front of me from the large glass in front that showed a complete display of the whole restaurant, to the old painting. If the place eventually fit into my budget, I was still going to spend a sh*t ton of money on renovation. A sigh escaped my lips and my chest tightened at the thought. Zaden had to speed up his investigation; I needed access to my account to see my plans for opening the Cafe.“You must be Miss Grayson,” a young m

    Zaden's pov..Leaving Mila alone all night wasn’t my intention. I planned to return to the room when she was asleep, but the email Alex sent me shortly after our kiss prevented me from returning, I and Alex had been secretly working on my parents' accident case for a while. We discovered so many loose ends to the case that didn’t make sense; it was obvious some people in power tried to keep the case under wraps with the guise of an accident. With me being so young when it happened, my grandparents' focus was most likely on me at the time. We didn’t plan to reopen the case, we were keeping everything under cover, and it was better that the culprit didn’t see us coming. “The CCTV footage showed a truck veering off the road, the investigation said the driver had been driving all day, and he fell asleep on the wheel, for which he was given a light sentence,” Alex spoke over the phone while I watched the footage he just sent.“We were able to hack into an old CCTV camera, which at the

    Mila’s POV… Zaden nibbled on my lips gently to grant him access, which I did. My action pleased him as he shoved his tongue into my mouth. At first, the kiss started gently before it turned hungry. His large hands guided us to the bed with him on top of me. I reached for the towel around his waist to remove it, but his hands gripped mine before I could do that. He flung my hands aside breaking our kiss so quickly, for a minute you will think he was burned by my touch.“Don’t allow me to do this again, we shouldn't ever do this again.” He looked at me with a burning gaze before going to the closet. “What?”, my voice was hazy still reeling from the high of the kiss we just shared. He grabbed a shirt and pants, then left the room, closing the door with a loud bang. Leaving me alone with swollen lips and confused as hell, my body felt cold, missing the heat from his body.Why did he kiss me in the first place? Was he trying to prove some kind of point? I know Zaden is a twisted f*ck b

    Zaden’s POV…“Since Mila is keen on Italian dishes, I have a few great spots we can try, then we can go over to see the sunset on the Arno River”. Antonio spoke looking over to Mila.I wanted to smack the smirk off his face, he just met her a few minutes ago and was acting like he had known her all his life.I held on to Mila’s hands tightly. She was surprised by my action, but didn't really protest. She was so naive to just trust a random stranger. I was acting protective because it wasn't just her life now, she was carrying my child. She was the reason I even started my meeting early in the morning, so I could take her to some amazing spots in Italy; it seemed unfair to leave her alone at the hotel. Returning to the hotel and not meeting her there wasn't really a surprise to me, my best guess was that she went for breakfast. Seeing her on the patio of the restaurant all giggly with Antonio, made something go off in me. “Aww, Antonio I would really love to”. Mila's eyes were gleam

    Mila's PovI was already tired from the jet lag, so sharing a room with Zaden wasn't a problem for me. All I wanted to do was curl up in my sheets and sleep. I quickly got in the shower, and once my head touched the pillow, I was asleep.Waking up the next morning I was taken aback by the beautiful scenery of Italy. I could see a large expanse of the city from the hotel room. The scene was truly breathtaking, I must say it's an amazing feeling waking up in Italy.Zaden must have left for his meeting already. When I woke up I found his bed empty. I had my bath, put on a sundress, my hat, and some sunglasses. It was time for me to enjoy Italy while I was here. I decided to carry out a mini tour of the city myself, since I was left to my own devices by Zaden.The low rumble of my stomach reminded me I hadn't eaten since yesterday. I decided to get breakfast first before my tour. I stepped out of the hotel in search of an Italian breakfast restaurant.Finding an Italian breakfast spot wa
